The Spa at Mandarin Oriental London

Not only does the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London create an elevated experience for hotel guests, its spa promises to transform those who enter its doors. This two-story sanctuary has eight treatment rooms, each with its own private shower, separate men and women sanariums, vitality pools and amethyst crystal steam rooms, a zen color therapy relaxation area and experience showers in female changing rooms.

Enjoy therapies inspired by the culture, such as the English Rose Journey — a nearly two-hour treatment with, you guessed it, rose as the main ingredient. This service starts off with a soothing foot ritual, followed by a rose infused poultice massage. The therapy concludes with a comforting hair and scalp massage using essential oils.

After eight years of hard work, with numerous setbacks, the makers of Oxley Dry Gin finally hit on a revolutionary method for preserving the flavors of the ingredients used in making it, while respecting the traditions and techniques of English gin-making. The result is the world's first cold-distilled gin.
